Hiram Single Edge Occam's Razor

Company: Occam’s Razor
Product: Hiram

Most people know by now that I find my Occam’s Razor Nano to be one of my go-to razors in my collection. My recent review of the Occam’s Enoch Razor was so disappointing. My disappointment must have shown through the video as well with subscribers reaching out trying to help. Some have
suggested a new blade the Schick P-30 Proline Artist Club Style Blades which I ordered and just came in today.

I was lucky to get in on both the Nanon & Enoch razors as a Kickstarter backer and in doing so lowered the cost but I never knew about the Hiram razor somehow this one got by me. During the release of my Enoch video, one of my subscribers Joe Watt was kind enough to offer to send me a Hiram of his own to use and do a video with and along with that he said he would send me a Barbersol razor to try as well. This amazing offer was the only way you're seeing this review today and I want to thank Joe for his generosity.

This single edge razor has been in development for the last 2 years. This hefty 3.9oz razor is made from nearly a quarter pound of 100% 316 Stainless Steel and was designed to last a lifetime. The handle is what stands out to me with its cobra scales texture which creates a no-slip grip. The loading of blades couldn't be easier. Loading from the back you just push the blade forward and it clicks into place.

As for the shave, the razor felt well balanced and good in the hand easy to maneuver around my face. What a pleasure to finally use this it brought back memories when I first used the Occam’s Nano. I used the same Feather Pro Blade that I put into the Enoch and you would never guess the Enoch was made by the same company. This razor had no issues cutting my 6 to 7-day old growth. It allowed me to go over trouble spots with ease with no irritation unlike the Enoch and when I was done the razor washed out completely and I had no nicks or cuts unlike my ending with the Enoch which was a bloody mess. (did I mention it was the same blade)

So, a fantastic shave was had and if your not into the Occam’s Nano’s look or it's potato peeler handle then this would be the one I would recommend. I did notice the two dots on the razor's head and the Nano has the heads you can change for the shave you desire. This one I think is set at purchase with the two dots most likely you could purchase additional heads for it since its modeled after the Nano but this is just a guess.

The Hiram is currently at $155.00 the only other option you can get besides the blades would be the 24k gold plated Golden Cobra which is stunning. This razor was not even in my purview but now I’m going to have to make some changes to get one I highly recommend you do too.

I’m right there with you on this razor. A Feather Pro on the two dot plate gave me an amazing shave.

[Johnny-Five]

I haven't dabbled in the single blade realm yet, but I'm definitely going to keep this razor company in mind when I do.

[ssiewnad]

Glad to see you recovered from the Enoch Now this looks like a great razor.

[Shaverboy]

Wow Don that was a great shave, it mowed your beard in no time, much better out come with this one, never knew Barbasol made DE razors.

[williamhunter]

Another good looking razor, still hoping that they will start sales here in the UK.
Cheers🍻

[troyjenkins]

Hiram looks like one I will get in the nearby future, thanks Don👍😁

[warrenburch]

Looks like someone had an awesome shave. That razor looks great. 💈👍

[dalemitchell]

Can't wait until review the barbasol razor I didn't know barbasol had made double edge razors and blades

[drytool]

I take it you don't find blade chatter an issue with that floating blade?

[LEgoiste]

Gorilla snot works too, guitarists use is for gripping slippy picks!

[craigsherwood]

I'm actually surprised that you love the grip as much as you do. I actually have to put rosin on my hand to use it without it slipping in my hand and quite diligent about keeping them dry when shaving. I honestly wish the scaling design was more dramatic (deeper grooves) as that would've helped me immensely.
That said, the shave seemed to be even closer and more comfortable than the nano and I didn't think that was possible. Upon closer examination, the guard had been reprofiled from what the nano is.
Also, you can get the other heads but they are an extra charge (a big boo on that).
Regardless, it's still a great razor I will reach for from time to time.

Cool review on that razor and looks like that you've fallen in love with it. Better than Occam's Razor Nano?? Wish I can order it but my wife will kill me as have too many razors here and I rotate them around but been going to my black Occam's Razor more often than others. Oh well have a good day sir.

[ArchonSG]

Ah darn!
My Nano Enhanced is arriving in a few days, wasn't sure about this one since the Enoch far more aggressive, didn't want to blind buy their newer offerings.

I'll see how the Nano Enhanced feels for me.
Great shave.

[vlstpt]

Great shave & Occams makes great products. Go for it Don!!! Lol. (VLS)

The Hiram, Occam's razor looks great. Where can I buy it for the prices you list on the review? $155.00 and $185.00? Thank you for your reviews.

[navvor]

Hey!
Will you make a review of Broman Razor?
Love your channel by the way! Your impressions guided me a lot to pick out the best razor.

[JohnWeggo]

I never used a single blade razor. What do you do when you are done with your shave and want to store your blade for the next shave. Keep it in the razor? Or can you put it bax in the box or some paper?
Great video and a super good looking razor 👌

[knightmare]

Very nice. Did you have to bend the blade to load it into the razor by any chance? I have to do that with my Occam's SE razor. I was told that I really should try those Schick Proline blades in mine and that I would like them a lot better than the Feather AC blades. The Feather AC softguards was a bust. They really struggled to go through my beard.
